Working in commercial diving I had a pair of these gloves 5 years ago.We were doing dredging work back then which required a lot of digging through mud and debris which really put these gloves to the test.These gloves went through the torture test with flying colors.They did eventually wear through but not until taking a serious beating.These gloves fit well on me and are also very warm and comfortable on my hands.I would definitly recomend these glove to anyone doing cold water diving or any underwater activities that put wear and tear on your other gloves.No questiion about it!

Clete:

I now own a pair of these gloves and love them. I need to know the washing/laundering instructions.
Thank you,

Bob(Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com):

Rinse them in fresh water after use and let air dry out of direct sunlight. If needed a little non-detergent dish soap or Woolite can be used. Never put any neoprene product in a dryer.

Hi,
I am new to diving. I live in northern California where the water I dive in is usually around 50 degrees or so. I really enjoy being in the water and seeing all kinds of cool stuff (no sharks yet :) ) but I am running into a problem: my physiology is such that my arms are disproportionate to my body, meaning that my wetsuit fits well on my midsection, but it comes up short at my wrists. My core body temp has been great for dives up to 40 min so far, but when I get out of the water, even after 20 min, my hands refuse to function. I have 5 mil thermocline Kevlar gloves, but they obviously do not work. The space between my wetsuit and my gloves allowes too much water in.I guess the roundabout to this rant is that i am looking for some longer gloves that will cover my wrists that are in the 5 to 7 mil range. I would love to dive longer, but I need to figure out how to keep my hands happy. It really stinks when I get out of the water after a great dive and cant get my gear off....
Thanks,
Katie

What you're looking for is called a Gauntlet Glove. Unfortunately at this time we don't carry any nor have a manufacturer we are aware that offers them. They will have a much longer cuff section for just this use.

Caarol:

Not your typical question as I am not a diver.I have severe neuropathy in my hands yet love to swim. Even pool water is too cold and very painful. What would be the warmest gloves?

Jim:

Im looking for a wet-glove that will fit well with my drysuite. Ive had a pair of Forth Element, they were warm but they dont work well with dry-suits. Suggestions.

Bob(Certified Scuba Instructor at Scuba.com):

Over the years I''ve found gloves with a shorter cuff to work better with my dry suit. These gloves have a fairly average length to the cuff and may get in the way of the suit where it over laps the cuff. For more info on alternate products or choices you can contact our instructors at info@scuba.com

Lin:

I need some Lion Fish proof dive gloves. Warm is not an issue as I would be using them in the Caribbean.
I also need a Lion Fish proof catch bag and a telescoping trident dive stick.
Any ideas?
Thanks
